DAVENPORT DOTS
The man Lafrenz. who indulged in
some dangerous gun play near Brick
Monro's pavilion Sunday night, and
whose wild aim brought death to a
horse owned bv Mr. Munro. will be
released from jail. The man had
been drinking heavily and was on the
verge of delirium tremens when taken
to jail. Those whom it is alleged lie
assailed and attempted to kill do not
care to prosecute him, and said that
he would probably be released. La
frenz comes from an excellent west
end family.
At the home of the bride s parents
1C24 West Second street, Wednesday
evening occurred the marriage
Hudolph Hebbeln, .lr., and Miss liosa
Stamp. Pastor A. I J. Greif performed
the ceremony. Otto Stamp and Miss
Ella Hebbeln attended the couple.
During the middle of Wednesday
aiternoon a well dressed and well in
toxicated stranger entered the Iowa
National bank and to Cashier Bur
meister gave his name as .J. McCar
vel.' and said he was a traveling man
out of funds, but that the firm would
stand for any amount lie wanted. He
was told that he must have someone
to identify and vouch for him. There
upon McCarvil said that the firm of
Washburn & Halligan would do that
for him. He then left the bank, and
shortly afterward the telephone bell
rang and the cashier unswereJ the
summons. "This is Mr. Halligan,'
said the voice. "(live Mr. McCarvel
what he wants. We are pood for it
Hut the banker recognized McCarvel's
voice, anil when that awkward irraft-
r again called at the bank an officer
f the law was there to take him in
to custody. He was sent to iail and
-pent the night in a cell. Yesterday
McCarvel had sobered up and there
fore was let go. His silly escapade
was looked upon as the action of an
ntoxieaieu man, ami mere was no
prosecution.
o
. F. Fisher, who tore the clapboard
ing from a barn, or shed, on the prop
erty of the Amazon Vinegar & Pick
ling works, and stole a scoop shovel
faced the police magistrate yester
lay. His accuser was F. W. Smith
the manager t.f the plant. Fisher
pleaded guilty to petty larceny, and
was reminded that the information
might have been made that of break
ing and entering, which is an indict
able charge. The shovel, he said, was
taken Sunday last, merely as a joke
on Mr. Smith. But he carried the joke
too far when he took the shovel to
his home. He was fined $15.4. und
warned to keep off the premises. The
man's aged father paid the fine.
At midnight Wednesday at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Jeremiah Tra-
cey, on Pleasant and Broadway
streets, in Northeast Davenport, oc
curred the death of Mrs. Anna Cor
coran, a native of Ireland, in the 80th
year of her age. Deceased resided in
this city a score of years ago. but
after the death of her husband re
moved to Chicago, where she had
been until this spring, when she ciune
to take up her resilience with her
daughter. Mrs. Tracev, who. with
Charles 13. Mai tin, a distant relative
alone survive her.
Mrs. Bridget Burke was at the po
lice station yesterday and told of the
cruelty to which a drunken husband
had been subjecting her. The defend
ant to the complaint lodged is Wil
liam Burke, a laborer, son-in-law of
old Jack Woods. The couple live in
squalid apartments near Fifth and
I5rady streets. Last Friday beat
his wife, and again Saturday. She
told a tale harrowing in detail. A
wailing child clad in rags, and her
own wan face and sparse garments,
told a tale of penury because of the
n us nanus dissipation. there was
mutual recrimination and much noise
at the trial, but the assistant county
attorney quelled it all by asking for
the limit of punishment for the wife
beater. The police magistrate sent
Burke to jail for 30 days.
What came within an ace of being
a case of murder had its final scene
in the police magistrate's court yes
terday. Last Saturday morning Bob-
ert J'leming, son of Jim Fleming, en
tered the Dixon saloon on Front
street and began to shake dice with
Dan Flynn, a Bucktown habitue. A
dispute arose and Flynn knocked
young Fleming down and afterwards
kicked him over the right temple, ren
dering mm unconscious. iiie voting
man was taken in charge by three
doctors, who worked over him until
Sunday night before they brought
him buck to consciousness, and then
feared concussion of the brain. Flynn
was therefore held to await the re
sult of Fleming's injuries. Yesterday
the young man was able to appear
and prosecute a charge of assault
and battery. Attorney Frank Cooper
appeared for Flynn, who pleaded
guilty to the charge. He was there
fore assessed a -fine of $25 and costs,
which he paid, the whole amount ag
gregating $33.45.
A messenger boys' strike is the
latest thing in Davenport. Yesterday
afternoon the Western Union messen
ger boys showed their enterprising
spirit by serving notice on Manager
Uandolph that they wanted $1 a day,
and only eight hours' work with a full
hour off for dinner. The manager
couldn't -see the reasonableness of
their demand, and the entente cordiale
was dissolved and the boys went on
strike. Later a settlement was patch
ed up. some concessions being granted
them.
Billy Sunday, our baseball evan
gelist, well remembered here, where
he used to Jive, has just made a clean
up of the town of Carthage, 111. It is
reported that his tabernacle revival
there resulted in 530 professions of
conversion, and the free will offering
of last Sunday, which went to him as
his perquisite for the good work he
had done toward the redemption of
the place, showed the esteem in
which he is held there. It netted $2,
100. Now he is off to Carrollton, Mo.,
for a month's similar labor. Billy
has caught on in a way that gratifies
all his old friends here. He is play
ing the fastest game in his league
now.
